Discover how to create 3D in Smoke from a 2D video image – a very cool effect!<\/h2>\n

\"Autodesk<\/p>\n

Autodesk Smoke <\/a><\/strong>and Flame pro Joel Osis<\/a> is a compositing, video editing and motion design pro. \u00a0This talented creative pro currently works full time as a lead compositor, and previously was a senior Flame artist.<\/p>\n

We’re lucky then, that Joel shares his Smoke and Flame knowledge in regular Vimeo posts<\/a> that demonstrate advanced post production techniques. \u00a0In the following Smoke video tip he demonstrates a fairly quick way to achieve a 2D to 3D parallax based conversion using Smoke’s built-in toolset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3D (or stereo or stereoscopic) video<\/strong> is usually created by shooting two cameras next to each other simultaneously. \u00a0The simulated Smoke 3D effect<\/strong> that Joel demonstrates is unique in that the effect can be created with a single 2 dimensional video image (in this case, footage shot on a RED camera).<\/p>\n

Word of warning for Smoke newbies, this tutorial isn’t “intro to Smoke” level stuff…rather it’s more advanced and probably more suited for seasoned Smoke compositors\/editors.<\/p>\n

See how to pull off a 3D effect in Smoke<\/strong> below. \u00a0Thanks for sharing Joel!<\/em><\/p>\n
